Bramble, Thorn & Briar 2023

Process: A blend of 1, 2 and 3 year old golden ales brewed with malted barley and raw wheat. Spontaneously fermented and matured in neutral French oak barrels. Refermented on whole Driscoll Maravilla raspberries grown in Northamptonshire, and organic Driscoll Victoria blackberries grown in Herefordshire.

Conditioning: Packaged with a small amount of priming sugar for natural carbonation in the bottle. We do not add yeast at this point, or at any point in the process. Bottles laid to rest on their sides and conditioned until release.

Tasting Notes: Juicy raspberry and blackberry on the nose with hints of rose and wild funk. Tart red fruit dominates the palate, balanced by soft oak and a touch of earthy spice. Zippy acidity and fine bubbles lead to a clean, dry finish.

Ingredients: Malted barley, raw wheat, aged hops, raspberry, blackberry, water.
